  1. so let me get that straight on Scientists Use Microbes to Produce Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    so you take wastewater, a small electrical charge and some bacteria and you get electricity, hytrogen and clean water.

    man the oil and power companies are going to hate this......

    anybody wanna bet that one of the oil or power companies will buy the rights to this and sit on it for a few hundred years?

  2. Zonk posted it wrong on Microsoft's New Mantra - It Just Works · · Score: 2, Funny

    Microsoft hasnt actually decided on the final slogan

    Microsoft - It Just Barely Works

    Microsoft - It Almost Never Works

    Microsoft - At Least We Aren't SCO

  3. of course they say its spyware on Spyware or Researchware? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Symantec, for example, designates the program as spyware on its Web site.

    A major antivirus company saying a free anitvirus program is spyware, that should raise a few red flags right there.

  8. i wish them the best of luck on How the Secret Service Cracks Encrypted Evidence · · Score: 1

    every file i have on DVD is named with a rendomly generated title and is then encrypted with 4096bit GPG. every folder is given a randomly generated name and is then encrypted with 4096bit GPG . then the entire thing is encrypted with 4096bit GPg a third time and burnt to DVD.

    every DVD has a alphanumeric label that corresponds to a name and description in a textfile on one of 6 CDs containing nothing but what file is where and the keys to access that file.

    i torch those CDs and nobody will ever get to the files i have on the DVDs unless they are willing to spend a few decades per file without knowing what the file is beforehand. they could waste years trying to decrypt a chicken salad recipie.

  9. Re:this is why on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh · · Score: 1

    nope. aslong as i give them the cash i dont even have to give them a valid photo ID. just a name and a address (doesnt have to be my address)

  10. Re:this is why on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh · · Score: 1

    i could use a debit card from my bank but if its not visa/mastercard then its difficult to make online purchases with, if it is a visa/mastercard and it gets stolen then its connected to my bank account and i could be tapped dry very quickly.

    with a prepaid card i only have to put the amount i want to spend on it and if it gets stolen then the person who took it would only have access to the $2 or $3 thats left over from purchases, you couldnt even buy a pack of cigarettes with that much.

  11. this is why on Identity Theft Victim Gets Last Laugh · · Score: 4, Interesting

    this is wnhy you get a prepaid visa or mastercard for online purchases. id rather spend the 30 minutes to put the cash on the card and buy something online with it than than let some druggy scum waltz off with my hard earned money. http://www.netspend.com/ Netspend offers inexpensive prepaid visa and mastercards that are useable anywhere.
